Soil nutrient levels—especially in sand rootzones—can change rapidly
Soil nutrient levels might change more rapidly than you realize. This has implications for whether nutrients should be applied as fertilizer, or not. I showed data from an experiment I did when I was a graduate student in this blog post:

Jason Haines has written about a similar topic, and explained it perhaps more clearly than I have. I recommend his blog post on "Do you have enough?": https://fusariummy.blogspot.com/2023/02/do-you-have-enough.html
To read more about this experiment, see this chapter in my dissertation: http://archive.lib.msu.edu/tic/thesdiss/woods2006h.pdf
